Some people think that playing jealousy is very effective in winning back their ex. Most probably, they are thinking that this is the way of showing to their ex that they can still move on. Well, playing jealousy is a self thinking one. It is targeting only to one thing, that is the feeling of their ex. In this way, they think that the ex would tend to have a negative reaction to such. It would be workable if the ex still has that feeling towards you. What if your ex does not have those feelings about you anymore?
You are thinking that you can win her back by trying to make her jealous. With you new date, your ex might be thinking the other way. Maybe you are already comfortable with your new found love and that you are not in need of her anymore. Or you might have been already moved on from that relationship with her. Another tactic of some people to win back their ex is to date a common friend. Since they know each other, the ex might be tempted to sneak on them. Well, that is the common misconception of those who are employing this strategy. Instead, the ex will feel betrayed. This will end up into a worst thing instead of winning back the ex. Jealousy is a deflecting attraction. It drives away your girlfriend instead of befriending her. Of course, you do not want to employ negative attraction. This will make the dent of your relationship grow wider and wider. For most people, employing jealousy is very effective. To them it creates a sense of vengeance towards their ex and at the same time their ex might go back to them. Well, the problem is if that thinking is directed inwards. One is only thinking of themselves without thinking the other party.
Perhaps, the most important aspect of winning back your ex is to make a straightforward move. Saying to her your intentions is not really bad at all. Instead, you just avail yourself some good reasons to win her back to you.
